Magic, Hornets collide in Orlando

Basketball Betting Lines

02/08/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Orlando Magic hope to carry the momentum from their big win at Boston into tonight's home tilt versus the New Orleans Hornets at Amway Arena.

Orlando posted a 96-89 triumph over the Celtics on Sunday at TD Garden, as Vince Carter posted 20 points and Dwight Howard finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Southeast Division-leading Magic, who battled back from an 11-point halftime deficit.

"I think we just came out with a lot of intensity. I was upset about how we played in the first half, it wasn't as well as we wanted to," Howard said. "We came out in the second half with a lot of energy, defensively moved our feet, we were talking more and that's what got us the big lead."

Jameer Nelson had 15 points and Rashard Lewis netted 14 in the win, Orlando's eighth in its last 10 tries. The Magic will put its 19-5 home mark to the test Monday night and are one game ahead of Atlanta in the division standings.

New Orleans will shoot for its fifth straight win on the road this evening and ended a three-game losing streak with a 104-99 triumph at Charlotte on Saturday.

Rookie Darren Collison, filling in for injured All-Star guard Chris Paul, recorded a team-high 24 points and four assists, while David West scored 21 points and Peja Stojakovic contributed 18 for New Orleans, which avoided a season-high fourth straight loss.

Collison is averaging 15.5 points, 7.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game in 13 games as a starter. He has been a big lift since Paul underwent left knee surgery and will be out a minimum of four weeks.

"This [win] was needed bad especially after those losses at home," said Collison, who is averaging 16.6 points and 9.8 assists in five starts since Paul went down. "We needed to come back and have a victory today. We've got two games before the break and have to finish strong."

Emeka Okafor posted 16 points and seven rebounds in the win. On the injury front for New Orleans, guard Marcus Thornton (back) is questionable for Monday.

New Orleans and Orlando are meeting for the first time this season, and have split the past eight matchups.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
